A discussion between Piyush Ghosh with his friends and co-founders, Tuhin Sen and Tannison Matthhews, in a park in Bhopal has led to India's first positive stories only newspaper in print. The Optimist Citizen has since grown to over 250 members and more than 1000 subscribers in about 25 cities, with digital reach in other countries as well. While Piyush's focus right now is not for it to become the next big newspaper but for The Optimist Citizen to be an agent of change - to push mainstream media houses and readers to give equal importance to good and positive news. For their work in promoting positive news, Ghosh has received accolades such as the Manthan Award for journalism, Queen's Young Leader Runner-Up, Ashoka Youth Venturer and listed under Forbes Asia 30 Under 30.
